My Favorite Nuts

When we are in Switzerland country, I often buy cooked roasted chestnuts (maroni) when I see a vendor by the alley, it taste good and smells good especially when it's still hot hmm delicious. I missed it already. I eat my maroni while riding a nice long ride train or walking around in town. This nuts are an important food crop in southern Europe, southwestern and eastern Asia, and also in eastern North America before the arrival of chestnut blight. In southern Europe in the Middle Ages, whole forest-dwelling communities which had scarce access to wheat flour relied on chestnuts as their main source of carbohydrates.

The nuts can be eaten candied, boiled or roasted; the former are often sold under the French name marrons glacés. Another important use of chestnuts is to be ground into flour, which can then be used to prepare bread, cakes and pasta.
Chestnut-based recipes and preparations are making a comeback in Italian cuisine, as part of the trend toward rediscovery of traditional dishes.

How I wish I am still there so that I can eat alot of chestnuts (maroni) hehehe!

Wanna eat some? :)
